Description
The number called, said the electricity was going to be cut off, due to the bill being delinquent. Stated I needed to go to a processing center that accepts Dominion payments to pay the outstanding balance to ensure the power would not be cut off. The phone # that called me was 888-690-6571. They provided me with a claim # CL250106-3. They texted me a barcode from 772-469-8309. I went to Walmart and paid $5000.00 in order to pay the passed due balance.
